(Saxon has an extension to do this called saxon:evaluate()). > One thing you could use is a sequence of filter steps: [ skipped ] The third generalized way to workaround the limitation of not-evaluatable Xpath ( not-evaluatable import e t.c. ) could be on-the fly compilation of the stylesheet. Stylesheet 1 receives parameters and generates the stylesheet 2 , then stylesheet 2 is applied. Rgds.Paul. PS.
